Request a quote See our workA line producer or fixer in Peru is the local partner who secures crew, locations, permits and logistics for a production coming from abroad. You bring the creative direction; we make it happen. As a full line production service in Peru we resolve local crew (DP, gaffer, sound, art, production), location scouting and permits, casting, gear rental, transport, catering, insurance and itinerary coordination.

In Peru the permit depends on where you shoot. Streets and public roads are authorized by the district or provincial municipality, archaeological sites by the Ministry of Culture, drone and aerial work by the DGAC, and protected natural areas by SERNANP. As your line producer, B.CONTENT prepares each request, files it and follows it up with the authority.
| Where you shoot | Who authorizes it |
|---|---|
| Streets, avenues and public roads | District or provincial municipality |
| Public space in Lima's Historic Centre | Municipality of Lima, through PROLIMA |
| Archaeological sites | Ministry of Culture, through its regional offices (Direcciones Desconcentradas de Cultura) |
| Drone or aerial operation | DGAC, Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) |
| Protected natural areas | SERNANP, the National Service of Protected Natural Areas |
A filming request in Peru states the purpose, dates, hours, location, a description of the shoot, the equipment and the number of crew, and it is signed by the producer in charge. Peru's film commission, Film in Peru (PROMPERÚ), also supports productions with permit management and coordination with local and national authorities.

Filming or a professional photo session in the public space of Lima's Historic Centre needs the binding opinion of PROLIMA, the Municipality of Lima's office for the Historic Centre and the monumental areas of Cercado de Lima. If your script uses the colonial streets of downtown Lima, we build that approval into the schedule from the first scout.

Peru's Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) lists three requirements to fly a drone: the aircraft registered with the DGAC, a pilot trained and certified by an accredited civil aviation instruction centre who has passed the theory exam of the MTC's aeronautical licensing office, and, for flights over urban areas, a permit requested in advance with the date, time and coordinates. Drones cannot fly over restricted zones such as the Government Palace, military areas, airports, archaeological centres or protected natural areas without authorization from the relevant entity.

Foreign crew can work on a shoot in Peru under the "Producción Artística" (Artistic Production) migration status, created by Supreme Decree 007-2021-IN in July 2021 for foreigners doing artistic or technical work in audiovisual production. It has a temporary form for stays of up to 183 days and a resident form that can be extended. Holders may enter Peru several times, but they cannot do independent paid work in the country.

The ATA Carnet has been valid in Peru since 30 April 2024, with the Lima Chamber of Commerce (Cámara de Comercio de Lima) as the guaranteeing body. It lets professional equipment enter the country temporarily without paying import duties or taxes, which suits crews travelling with their own cameras and lenses. If you prefer to travel light, we rent the gear in Lima.

An experienced fixer avoids fines and lost days. We also handle production insurance, gear transport and coordination with local authorities — key when shooting outside Lima.
We send location scouting, casting options and a detailed USD budget before you board the plane. During the shoot we coordinate on your channels and, if you can't travel, we direct with live remote supervision. Post-production (edit, DaVinci color, sound) runs from Lima with online review rounds.
It depends on the location: district or provincial municipalities for streets and public roads, the Ministry of Culture for archaeological sites, the DGAC (Ministry of Transport and Communications) for drones and aerial work, and SERNANP for protected natural areas. In Lima's Historic Centre, PROLIMA gives a binding opinion on any filming in public space.
